It was one thing the EQ crew did right in the beginning: when something like that developed, FD pulling, etc. they left it alone as long as it didn't affect what they thought of as their profit driver, /days played to 50.
Following the link, there is almost unanimous consent that this is a terrible idea.
To get that many gamers to agree on anything is a miracle. I wonder if they will just ignore it or listen.
The crazy thing is that - as we've been predicting for a while - four to six weeks from now the industry analysts will proclaim that MMOs with monthly fees are finished, totally missing that the ones that have been coming out for years have all been shit on a stick produced by the same old clueless names.
I'm playing super casually due to time but I having fun but yeah dunno about all the high lvl guys.
Same thing happens with every MMO released with this crowd. Game comes out and its a mad dash to level cap. Nothing else matters. If you could grind 1 mob in an infinite loop for levels 1-50 and its 0.01% more efficient experience wise regardless of how well any game world is designed, that is the path many will take.
Yeah on primetime EST it's somewhat balanced. Sometimes we get on a map and are pushed to our side, other times (Like on our last big raid) we pushed blue back to their spawn. This is all because of the ability to 2v1 which should be in any game like this really. They could do more to balance things more (giving outnumbered players a mild to moderate stat boost, having events to generate a team of really tough NPCs when a side is pushed back etc). The only critique I have of cyrodiil on that front is I wish the imperial city was open so there'd be a huge objective in the center to fight over. No stonemist castle from GW2 makes fighting in Cyrodiil a little awkward.Tuco - my guild has been guesting on Auriel's Bow for last few days. Pretty fun action, and thinking of making it home, but gonna wait a couple weeks as more people hit vet ranks and go to Cyrodiil. See how things shake out. Elves are getting their shit pushed in, though

Besides having fun killing people on the spot, there is actually no metagame PvP wise unless emperor title.
You get to kill people. Who? You don't know, but they might have been someone cool... I'm definitely not feeling the PvP is meaningful yet. It seems to generally be either from small group murders reinforcements to blob eats blob with precious little in between.
You forgot "Has a healing staff ability slotted while using destro staff".
